LOCALGRAPHER Terms & Conditions

GENERAL PROVISIONS

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the use of the online platform Locagrapher.com (also “Platform”). These Terms apply both to clients (also “Users”) and to photographers. There is an additional document (“Terms and Conditions for Photographers”) that needs to be agreed by the Photographer before the photo shoot.

Your access and use of the Platform constitutes your agreement to be bound by these Terms, which establishes a contractual relationship between you and Localgrapher.com. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform.
– “User” means client who is interested in photo session
– “Photographer” means independent provider of photography services

www.localgrapher.com is an online platform where Users plan and arrange photo sessions with Photographers. Photographers offer their photography services as Bronze, Silver or Gold packages which can be booked by the Users.

Localgrapher.com does not provide any photography services. Photography services are provided by Photographers, who are not employees of Localgrapher.com. Localgrapher.com acts solely as a Platform that offers the Photographer the possibility to use this online platform to market his/her services. The contract for photography services is formed between the Photographer and the User.
Photographer declares that he/she holds all the permissions and authorisations necessary to provide photography services (if such permissions and authorisations are required by the applicable law), alternatively Photographer declares, that he/she is legally allowed to provide photography services on occasional basis (not as a businessperson) if this is allowed by the applicable law.

The non-binding booking and inquiry is made by sending the “booking form” on the profile of Photographer. All other details regarding the photo shoot are then arranged and specified via emails. User is invited to pay via payment gateway after all the details of the photo shoot are cleared. The binding booking is made after receiving the payment from User.
Localgrapher.com will take over the payment (paid via payment gateway) for the photo shoot on behalf of the Photographer. Localgrapher.com keeps previously agreed commission fee from the price paid by User after Localgrapher.com receives photos from the Photographer. The rest of the amount is transferred (payout) to photographer’s PayPal account. Localgrapher.com is not responsible for and will not reimburse any additional fees charged to Photographer by PayPal for receiving such payment.

Photographer will provide Localgrapher with his/her business name, business ID, business address, and VAT number (if he/she has one). Localgrapher will issue invoice for using the platform to the Photographer after the photo shoot and the Bill that will be delivered to the Photographer and to the User. Invoice for providing photography service will be issued to the User by the Photographer.
The agreed payout amount of photographers who fall under categories listed below will be reduced of the applicable VAT.
– Photographers based in the European Union who are not registered business persons. Payout in such case will be lowed by the VAT rate applicable in their country.
– Photographers based in the Czech republic (both business and non-business). Payout in such case will be lowered by the 21% VAT (DPH) that is applicable in the Czech republic
We do not guarantee that photographer that you select for the initiate non-binding booking will be available for your date/time/location of your photo shoot. In such case we will suggest you another Photographer but you are not obliged in any way to book this newly suggested Photographer.
Please note that additional travel fee may apply if you want the photo shoot to happen outside of the city centre (we will always notice you in advance about this). Additional ravel fee is also applicable to some locations from our list of destinations. The User is always informed about such travel fee before booking the photographer.

CANCELLATION POLICY
In case you will not be able to attend the photo shoot please contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to rearrange the date of photo shoot however we cannot guarantee that Photographer would be free on other date/time.
If photo shoot is cancelled due to Photographer’s fault, we will fully refund you. Please note that we will always try to do our best to reschedule your photo shoot so there will be no need for cancellation fees.
Notification of cancellation from the User:
